It shouldn't be necesary I think, but it isn't quite clear what you are doing. What default installation are you talking about, FPC or Lazarus, which version, which platform.

It sounds to me like the reporter isn't using the same version of the compiler that was used to compile Lazarus. Either he's not using the recommended version referenced on the site or Michael A Hess is using a newer build for the binaries.

That is unless it's some weird exotic issue.

Thanks for the reply. If all is well with everyone else, then I am assuming my system has some dependent lib or something out of sync.

Platform: RedHat 7.2

I haven't had much chance to fool with it, though.

Thanks.
